How long should it take to transfer information from hard drive to MacBook Pro after resetting

how long should it take to transfer information from my hard drive to my Mac Pro after it has been reset

There is no answer to that. The time depends on the amount of data and the method used for transfer.

  • How long should it take to download iTunes 11.1 to a MacBook Pro ?

    I have been trying to upgrade my iTunes by downloading version 11.1.  Most of the download completes but it then just sits there.  Says one minute remaining...at least 1 hour has past.  Says "downloading package scripts".  Is this normal?

    Welcome to Apple Support Communities
    The download time depends on the Internet speed, but it shouldn't take more than a few minutes. If the download doesn't move, press Alt, Command and Esc keys, force close the installer or the App Store and download and install iTunes from the Apple site > http://support.apple.com/kb/dl1614

  • How long does it take to transfer data from a PC to a Mac?

    Using Migration Assistant and I am transferring data from PC to IMac. Have no idea how ling this process should take. How long does it take to transfer data from a PC to a Mac?

    This may not be the best forum to get an answer.
    Depending on what is being/can be migrated it may be dependent on how much data is on the PC already.

    Depends how much data you have.
    And how you transfer it, if you chose wireless (for the convenience) you have chosen the slowest possible method, hours will pass.

  • How long should it take to restore imac from backup

    MY intel iMac had the operating system restored at my local Apple store. Once home I went about restoring all data from an external hard- drive. So far it has been doing this for about 30 hours with no end in sight. This can't be right, surely

    Was the backup drive formatted as I asked? See the following for help with using Migration Assistant:

  • How Long Should It Take To Transfer approx 4000 songs to a 16GB MP3 play

    All files are 28k
    ps.
    Should it takes about 4-5 hours or is this too slow?
    Thanks

    I doubt the transfers are at USB . speeds. I think the transfer time the O.P. indicates is in the "reasonable" range.
    Assuming an average transfer time of 3 sec/track it would take 200 minutes (or 3 /3 hours) to transfer 4000 tracks. From my own experience a consistent 3 sec/track avg transfer to the Zen is optimistic. If there is any on-the-fly conversion going on it will likely be substantially slower.
    [Addendum: I should probably clarify the speeds I mention above are based upon my real-world experience doing "sync" operations from apps like WMP and MediaMonkey to my Zen. Direct file copies to the Zen can be faster but that is a bit moot since most people use syncing. Nothing in my experience approaches anything close to theoretical USB 2.0 transfer speeds, if for no other reason than the cap imposed by the relati've slowness of flash memory write operations compared to read operations.]

  • HT4500 How long will it take to transfer 400gb from time capsule to my iMac using mountain lion

    I did a clean install on my iMac. Now I cannot access my backups. I can see the time capsule, but when I open time machine, I only have today  which is the newly installed system. I am now trying to use migration assistant to grab my files. I got to where I choose my time machine and entered my password. Now I don't see any action. How long will the transfer take?  My 500 gb time capsule is full. Should I be seeing something on my screen.

    This depends on what the connection type is for the computer to the Time Capsule - wireless or Ethernet, how much data are involved, what generation of Time Capsule, and whether the transfers are to an HDD or SSD.

  • How long does it take to transfer files from Windows to Macbook Pro

    Hi guys
    I just got a macbook pro (not the one with retina display)
    I have all of my files on my windows and just started to set up my mac using the windows transfer program, but it is taking a really long time. The estimate time remaining jumps between 30-35 hours. This is over Wi-Fi. I have read that it is faster using an Ethernet cable, I think I have one that is pluged into connecting both computers, but it isn't speeding anything up.
    What should I do? I don't want to leave either computer on for such a long time. (is there anything I should put my Mac on so it doesn't overheat, its currently on a wood table).
    Should I stop it? I dont want to ruin anything on the computer so soon. If so, how do I do it. I had already started to transfer files earlier today but accidently closed the Mac, which stopped the process and couldn't restart it again, so I turned it off since I couldn't find anything on the screen to stop it.
    I have an external harddrive that was connected to my windows, would it be faster to hold the mac's power button, start the startup again and just connect the external harddrive?
    Please help. Thanks in advance.

    Wi-Fi is slowest. Wi-fi must fight interference and other environmental challenges that cables don't have to worry about at all.
    Cabled Ethernet would be much faster. If your Windows computer has Gigabit Ethernet, it could actually be faster than FireWire.

    I would only abort if there is a safe way to (like a visible Cancel button), otherwise you may lose data.
    Connecting the external hard drive to the Mac could work, but if the hard drive is formatted with the NTFS disk format, you must have extra software on your MacBook Pro that can read that. If the drive is formatted as FAT32, it should work since Macs can read (but not write to) that Windows disk format.

  • How long does it take to transfer data from a time  machine back up?

    I am in the process of transferring my data from my time machine back up from my old mac to my new mac and this seems to be taking a long time.  What is everyone's experience for how long this takes?

    That does seem a tad excessive. What connection are you using? Ideal is firewire; Airport would be slowest (quite possibly as long as you say).

  • How long does it take to replace battery in an built-in macbook pro Intel Core 2 Duo 2009? Can I wait for it at the Genius bar or could I do it myself?

    My macbook pro shows that I have to replace the battery, but I dont want to leave it at the apple service centre and would like to take it with me after replacement of the battery. Is this a quick action at genius bar? or should I try to replace it myself?
    I currently switches off even when it's on normal charger and plugged in. Why would it switch off without the having a battery even when it's connected to via power?

    To replace the battery takes about 10-15 minutes.   (I have taken it out and put it back in) 
    However Apple will not sell you the battery, they will insist on installing it themselves.  In addition, you do need a #0 Triwing driver to take out the battery.  Not an easy tool to find in your local hardware store.

    Is this the MBP?  If so, mention that to the genius bar technician when you have the battery replaced.
    Ciao.

  • Transfer from hard drive to macbook pro

    how does one transfer the data from my USB Konig Hdd External box to my Macbook pro.. i couldn't do it at the startup of the computer it wasn't able to find the disc at the time.. i know fosure there is info on the disc and that it has been formatted for Mac use... 

    does the external drive require a power supply?
    You can check to see if the mac sees the external hard drive by opening the application "/Applications/Utilities/System Information"
    click the section "Hardware > USB" then see if you see the external device in the list.  if you don't then there is a hardware problem.  If you do see the device then there may be a driver problem-- I don't have the enclosure you have so I connected a Flash drive.
    Also try launching the application "/Applications/Utilities/Disk Utiltity" and see if the external device shows up in the list.

  • IPhoto transfer to external hard drive to Macbook Pro

    Hello,
    I just had my hard drive replaced in my Macbook Pro, but had backed up all of my pictures in iPhoto to my iomega external hard drive before the Apple Store wiped my computer clean. I am trying to enter my time machine to retrieve the photos, but it will not let me click on a date past today. Can anyone offer advice to how I can get my pictures back? I thought I had taken all the necessary steps prior to getting my new hard drive and could access the photos via time machine before the update, as I had double checked I did the back up right.
    Thanks!

    1 - no - if you do not like or use iPhoto then yu have no need for the iPhoto library - it is sefl contained and deleting it will not affect anything except iPhoto
    2 - you can export photos form iPhoto to any format drive - it is only the iPhoto library that has drive format restrictions
    Reformatting a drive totally erases it so you can not simply change the format of a drive without removing everything on it
    3 - deciede what you want  - if you use iPhoto then it has no cross platform capability and nothing you do in iPhoto is directly of use on a PC - you have to export from iPhoto to a volume that a PC can read
    Since you do not like or use iPhoto and it will not do what you want I have no idea why you are messing with it at all

  • How long should it take to transfer aperture library to an external drive 54GB

    can any one help with this ?

    Do the math. Look at the transfer rate of your connection and drive then divide that into 54GB. And the transfer rate provided by your device manufacturer is likely the theoretical rate so reduce your result somewhat.
